 Yes. To have space but no text above each group, set up the
GroupTitlesIX
 in the IX Flow on the index reference page as follows:
 [\

];[0];[A];[B];[C];[D];[E];[F];[G];[H];[I];[J];[K];[L];[M];[N];[O];[P];[Q
];
 [R];[S];[T];[U];[V];[W];[X];[Y];[Z]

Okay, this brings up a point that has always puzzled me about numbering.
The help on this just isn't very helpful, and I don't understand what
the things inside the  mean. I've gone to the Numbering tab on
paragraph formats with one tab and then a number/letter, and seen
something like 0n. What does it mean? I think it would
really help me to set up paragraphs the way I want them if I understood
this function.

FM has two ways of numbering.

The first is letter:building blocks
The second is , etc.

==

In the first, the letter identifies a sequence. All the autonumbering
formats with the same sequence relate to each other. So, if you do

A:n=1 for paragraph format foo, do A:n+ for paragraph format
bar, and then tag two successive paragraphs with foo and then bar,
the first paragraph starts with 1. and the second starts with 2.

But if you do foo A:n=1 and bar B:n+, then foo will start at 1. but
bar will start with one more than the last usage of bar.

This allows you to assign different sequences of numbers to different
entities in your book. You can have one sequence for lists, another for
tables, a third for figures, and so forth.

==

The second uses the string of  as placeholders. If the  is empty,
you don't see anything. If you put n+ then the sequence in that
position is incremented. If you put n then you get the same value as
the previous paragraph tag.

You can use this for MILSPEC/paragraph numbering, that is, n.n.n
will yield something like 1.1.1

This is documented in the online help, but may be difficult to find.

Much praise goes to Barbara Ash for teaching me this.

Hi Meg,

Navigate to the IX reference page in your index. Find the paragraph that is 
tagged GroupTitlesIX. Delete the contents of the paragraph, but don't delete 
the paragraph itself; in other words, the GroupTitlesIX paragraph should be 
blank. Save the document and regenerate the Index and your group titles will 
be gone.

Yes. To have space but no text above each group, set up the GroupTitlesIX 
in the IX Flow on the index reference page as follows:
[\ 
];[0];[A];[B];[C];[D];[E];[F];[G];[H];[I];[J];[K];[L];[M];[N];[O];[P];[Q];[R];[S];[T];[U];[V];[W];[X];[Y];[Z]
